CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--From the racetrack to Millionaire’s Row to the infield, jockeys and
patrons alike dress to impress at the Kentucky Derby. And those who know
how to dress for the occasion, turn to Tide to care for their clothes.
Procter & Gamble’s Tide
has been the trusted laundry detergent of Churchill Downs for nearly a
decade, washing over 600 jersey silks in over 35 pounds of Tide
detergent each week.

“Most people don’t realize that a jockey’s rainbow colored jacket is
more than just a uniform; it is filled with decades of tradition and
superstition and is a representation of the owner,” said Kristin
Warfield, Vice President, Sales and Partnerships of Churchill Downs.
“With all eyes on these prized silks, the colors need to stand out. No
matter the color, Churchill Downs trusts Tide’s performance to stand up
to tough track mud while keeping the jockey silks clean and bright.”

For all of the emphasis on keeping the race exciting and beautiful to
watch, the reality is that the Derby is home to the dirtiest two minutes
in sports. “There is a lot of pride in the colors worn by the jockeys,
as they represent the horse and the stables for which they are racing,”
said Karen Schlosser, Procter & Gamble Associate Brand Director.
“Whether on the racetrack, in the stands, or in any situation that calls
for us to be our best, Tide will help you look like a winner.”

To further demonstrate this point, Tide in partnership with Churchill
Downs created this video
which demonstrates the power of Tide to take on the Kentucky Derby, no
matter what you are wearing.

For those who prefer powerful cleaning performance, brightening, stain
fighting and 24 hours of freshness all in one convenient pac, try Tide
Pods plus Febreze, the newest innovation to the Tide Pods collection.
